In what has to be the tamest Apple release ever, everything was more of the same. The new Nano is just like the old tall Nano, the new Touch is almost exactly the same as the old Touch, the Classic gets a little bump, and iTunes merely collects more bloat — par for the course. What the hell, Apple?

CNN Money asks: Is an Apple environment right for your small biz? Yes, if you’re not a moron. Look, I’m not trying to be some anti-Windows Apple fanboi. I’m not saying that a Mac is for everybody; I think everyone should give them a try and then think critically about switching. But when it comes down to choosing between upgrading your small business to Vista or switching to OSX, it’s kind of a no-brainer.

The European Union will put up $22 million, or €15 million, for the development of an open source BitTorrent client—P2P-Net—that supports live streaming. (Wow that sounds like a lot of money to spend for what amount to some kid’s summertime Google Code entry.)

Did you know that scienticians use them to frickin’ model black holes?

Maybe you can find one on sale.

Do you know what I gave up for Lent?

Nothing, I’m not religious. But kids these days, I tell you! Do you know what they’re giving up for Lent? MySpace. And Facebook.

When asked, nearly half the men in the UK would give up sex for six months if the reward was a 50-inch plasma TV. What’s worse, many likely have, if you think about it.

Now I feel really bad about the time I got some action at Fry’s.

Why should publishers, and the developers that work for them, go to the trouble of creating 40+ hour single player adventures with top-of-the-line graphics and sounds and so forth if something like Mario Party 93 sells just as well?

Is there life on Mars? Yes, says the Spirit rover.  It appears to either be an intergalactic Sasquatch, a Tusken Raider, a really tan naked guy, or some sort of rock statue near the base of what’s known as Tsiolkovski Ridge. My guess is that there’s probably an underground Whole Foods in the base of that cliff and this fella’s going to get a Jamba Juice before The Hills starts.
